Disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (7 January 2014)

Unfortunately I expected too much from this movie. Main reasons for my disappointment: The characters are too simple and easily psyched especially when it comes to the two professors (Dr. Newton Geiszler & Gottlieb). The enduring fights between them are flat and listless and become very tiring during the movie.
In my opinion many of the actors could do a lot better. Best examples are Ron Perlman or Idris Elba who we know for better acting. Their roles are not deep enough for high performance acting anyway.
The Story is weak and very predictable. There are too few surprises and no suspense at all. Good example is the story of Mako Mori. Viewers easily know what is going to happen and what her part in the movie will be.
From my point of view they just stringed many special effects together to distract from the simpleminded storyboard. In total the movie seems to me like a cheap copy of transformers mixed with a cheap copy of Godzilla.
I would not recommend it at all.
